It's time for WWE SummerSlam!

Labeled as WWE's "Biggest Party of the Summer" the premium live event continues to get bigger and bigger every year.

Now in its 37th edition, SummerSlam 2024 on Saturday night should follow suit from Cleveland Browns Stadium.

The SummerSlam card includes seven huge matches, six of which are for championships. And the only match without a title on the line is WWE's storyline of the year between Drew McIntyre and CM Punk. Their feud has become extremely personal ever since CM Punk was injured in the Royal Rumble in January at the hands of McIntyre. Add Seth Rollins, a former champion who has had his issues with both men, as the special guest referee and this is likely the most anticipated match for fans due to its unpredictability and build-up.

Speaking of chaotic, that's exactly what the Undisputed WWE Championship match between champion Cody Rhodes and challenger Solo Sikoa should be when the two go toe-to-toe in a Bloodline Rules match (a stipulation added on Smackdown last night). It was just four months ago at WrestleMania 40 that Rhodes battled a Bloodline member in this type of match. And that match was as wild as they come when Rhodes finally conquered Bloodline Tribal Chief Roman Reigns to win his first WWE championship.

Who will reign at SummerSlam?
